Repeat layering cr?s and cream 3 times; scatter remaining blackberries over cream. Top with seventh cr? and remaining cream; top with last cr?. With reserved lemon cream, pipe or spoon 8 rosettes around top edge; top each with reserved blackberry. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 4 hours.)

In food processor or with hand blender, pur?reserved blackberries with honey; if desired, strain to remove seeds. Serve with g?au.
